CTreeView and CImagelist

[Monty2]

i am facing a weird problem i am using XP icons imporitng them adding them to the imagelist attaching it with the ctreeview

m_ImageList.Create(16,16,ILC_COLOR32|ILC_MASK,4,4);
m_ImageList.Add(AfxGetApp()->LoadIcon(IDI_ICON1));

GetTreeCtrl().SetImageList(&m_ImageList,TVSIL_NORMAL);

But the Icons don't show right (seems they are painted with less colors) but he same code and same icons are wokring with CListCtrl just fine any ideas , can CImagelist handle such icons it must cause CListCtrl is painting them just right

C makes it easy to shoot yourself in the foot; C++ makes it harder, but when you do, it blows away your whole leg

Here is a snippet of code I wrote last month. It makes a CTreeview with a list of icons (big size) on the left with a description on the right side (2nd column). Dont forget, icons have 2 sizes, small and big. See if you can understand what I wrote:

CImageList * m_pImageList; CImageList * m_pImageListSmall; // insert two columns (REPORT mode) and modify the new header items m_ctlDatabaseList.GetWindowRect(&rect); m_ctlDatabaseList.InsertColumn(0, strItem1, LVCFMT_LEFT, rect.Width() * 3/9, 0); //spaces them equally. This is a header of the CTree control m_ctlDatabaseList.InsertColumn(1, strItem2, LVCFMT_LEFT, rect.Width() * 1/3, 1); m_ctlDatabaseList.InsertColumn(2, strItem3, LVCFMT_LEFT, rect.Width() * 2/7, 2); ///create the icons CRect rect; CzScanApp *pApp; pApp = (CzScanApp*)AfxGetApp(); m_pImageList = new CImageList(); m_pImageListSmall = new CImageList(); ASSERT(m_pImageList != NULL && m_pImageListSmall != NULL);// serious allocation failure checking m_pImageList->Create(32, 32, TRUE, 4, 4); //This is a large icon m_pImageListSmall->Create(16, 16, TRUE,4, 4);//this is the small icon from the same file m_pImageList->Add(pApp->LoadIcon(IDI_ICON1)); //Icons have 2 sides to them, small size and large size //.....ADD AS MANY ICONS YOU WANT SO LONG AS YOU HAVE THE ICON FILES STORED TO USE m_pImageList->Add(pApp->LoadIcon(IDI_ICON50)); //Icons have 2 sides to them, small size and large size ///now add the icons to show for (iItem = 0; iItem < Limit; iItem++) // insert the items and subitems into the list view. { if(GROUP[iItem+1][0].NoOfDACs== 0) continue; for (iSubItem = 0; iSubItem < 3; iSubItem++) { if (iSubItem == 0) iIcon = ++a; // choose the icon and legend for the entry lvitem.mask = LVIF_TEXT | (iSubItem == 0? LVIF_IMAGE : 0); lvitem.iItem = (iSubItem == 0)? iItem : iActualItem; lvitem.iSubItem = iSubItem; // calculate the main and sub-item strings for the current item pStrTemp1= strIconShortDesc[iIcon].GetBuffer(strIconShortDesc[iIcon].GetLength()); pStrTemp2= strIconDesc[iIcon].GetBuffer(strIconDesc[iIcon].GetLength()); pStrTemp3= strIcon3rdCol[iIcon].GetBuffer(strIcon3rdCol[iIcon].GetLength()); //lvitem.pszText = iSubItem == 0? pStrTemp1 : pStrTemp2;//2; switch(iSubItem) { case 0: lvitem.pszText = pStrTemp1; break; case 1: lvite
